For this Easter season, let us come together to share His Word and live in His presence. May the Word of God allow us to share it with one another, and be filled with Easter gladness.

This resource is intended for families, RCIA groups, parish organisations and ministries, small Christian communities and neighbourhood Christian communities. It may also be used for individual reflection.

• To promote the Christian community in the neighbourhood as a place where we can hear the word of God and put it into practice.
• To give participants an experience of community and a sense of their mission by reaching out to neighbours and those in need.
• To gather parish organisations/ministries to pray together as one and put Christ back in the centre.
• To increase communication between family members. Love should be the main message in all communication, so the sessions are aimed at families sharing stories, doing meaningful activities together, sharing faith, and being reconciled with each other.

We must make a determined missionary decision “capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelisation of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation”.

This means a pastoral activity that, through an effective and vibrant collaboration between priests, deacons, religious and laity, as well as among different Parish communities of an area or region, occupies itself with identifying together the questions, difficulties and challenges germane to evangelisation, seeking to integrate ways, methods, proposals and means suitable to confront them. Beyond a responsible coordination of activities and structures capable of relating and collaborating among them, the pastoral care of all requires the contribution of all the baptised.

This resource is intended for groups, parish organisations and ministries, small Christian communities and neighbourhood Christian communities. The four booklets aim to help groups to appreciate and grow into communion. Begin with understanding coexistence, move to communication, go into cooperation and finally arrive at collaboration. Relationships are important in growing communion – the relationship with the Triune God and the relationship with everyone. Jesus’ commandment to love God and love neighbour is a clear message of how we are together as the body of Christ and hence the business of my sisters and brothers are mine too.

‘Communion’ is one of the four tenets of the New Evangelisation.
